Role: Lead Designer
Illustration and print media hold a special place in my heart. All of these illustrations were created in Adobe Illustrator and formatted in Adobe InDesign where applicable. Working in the public sector, my style is often full of rich color and bold shapes to stand apart from typical outreach from governmental agencies.
I start every project by asking why we’re creating the resource and what has made similar outreach efforts succeed or fall short. That thinking shapes every design decision, from the messaging to the visual style.
Backyard Habitat Illustration & Factsheet
Working alongside two habitat specialists, I illustrated and designed an educational factsheet that introduces the concept of layered habitat in urban backyards. The guide explains how a mix of groundcover, fungi, perennials, shrubs, and trees supports native pollinators and wildlife, while connecting residents with local habitat programs through clear visuals and approachable language.
The finished guide serves as a quick visual reference for residents while introducing several of the district’s habitat programs, making ecological concepts accessible and actionable for a broad audience.
City of Snohomish Stormwater Guide
I worked with engineers and outreach specialists to design a stormwater maintenance guide for residents who live within an HOA. By organizing local regulations into an easy-to-follow resource, the booklet gives homeowners a practical starting point whether they’re hiring a contractor or tackling the project themselves.
Tiny Spaces, Tasty Harvests
This beginner-friendly gardening guide teaches that growing food is possible in small spaces. Created for Snohomish County and Camano Island residents, I created simple, colorful illustrations and practical tips to make gardening more accessible for first-time growers.
Agroforestry Illustrations
I created a series of illustrations to promote agroforestry, a farming practice that integrates crops, trees, and native plants to improve the health and productivity of working lands. The illustrations were used across outreach materials, including the Wet Feet Farming campaign, to introduce the concept through engaging, accessible visuals.
